Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same.

The lower portion of my improved chair is formed by a box1 which isrectangular in form and the top 2 of which forms the seat. In the sidewalls 3 of the box are supports 4 for a slide 5, which supports enablethe slide to be removed when desired and also enable the slide to beadjusted to any desired height. The rear side of the box is formed by apairl of -hinged doors 6.
